Today all is well with IhostAsp.net and I. It seems that my hosting package does not allow for multiple versions of dot net in the same domain. The version of Dasblog which I was trying to install throouhh their control panel runs under dot net 1.1 and my domain is running under 2. No big deal since I have learned how to use Dot Net Nuke's blog. I recently spoke with tech support for the first time and they were really helpful. Thumbs up for IhostAsp.net - a very good deal for nine bucks a month. I'm starting to move more domains to them.
I have been using easycgi for the last few years and their plans are reasonable. But when they go down they are really down, nothing works. And that's been happening more than I like. So far the all-time best web hosting company has been ORCS Web. They are fast - really fast, and tech support is right now. PowerDNN is almost as fast as ORCS Web and they specialize in dot net nuke hosting. Tony Valenti, the main man at PowerDNN is active in the Dot Net Nuke community and seems to really know DNN. But V recently pointed out what may be false advertising on their part.
I have a secondary portal at PowerDNN which is configured as a parent portal under my main DNN account. When I experienced difficulty with the images for the secondary portal not loading I contacted tech support only to be told that they don't offer support for secondary portals ! - WHOA, What was that ? V went ballistic and suggested we contact the FTC and file a claim of false advertising. While I wouldn't go that far, I plan to raise the issue in the future. For now, I am still moving domains to IhostAsp.net. And besides, they have home field advantage, being located in the Cleveland area is always a plus in my book.
